Patch:Season 12

Season 12 Suffering - November 28th 2025

Patch Notes S12

Reddit Thread) General Changes Added a button to upgrade rejuvenation potions and flawless gems directly in the stash. This is a quality of life change to skip having to do cube recipes. Added the ability to search items in the stash: The search allows for searching ANY text contained on the item (name, stats, etc). Supports regex. Ctrl + F as hotkey for searching. This also displays which tabs contain the searched item. Shrine buffs are now removed on entering maps. This was changed because people complained about the EXP shrine meta. Anya now rewards 3 tier 1 maps instead of 1. Increased drop chance of T1 maps in corrupted zones. Increased the maximum amount of times a missile using the +% change to pierce mod could pierce from 4 to 10. Split the sound options into multiple sliders for complete customization. Added an "Autosync" feature to the options menu. This will automatically resync the player with the server at a fixed interval if the player is desynced beyond a certain value. Added an in-game command ".show-ui" that toggles showing all the UI or not. Note: This is somewhat hacky and not intended for normal gameplay, it's purely for getting screen recordings without the UI. Most players will NOT want to use this. Added an in-game command ".set-cursor [0-39]". Note: Anything other than 0 will draw a small colored box (in various styles and colors). ".set-cursor 0" will reset this. Reworked melee splash: It now rolls damage and checks for resistances on each monster it hits independently instead of being based on the initial target. All effects applied by attacks are now carried with melee splash with the exception of "On Hit" and "On Striking" proc effects (On Hit/Striking did not apply in the previous iteration either so this has only increased the amount of effects that can be applied via splash). Reduced Talic's whirlwind damage. Socket recipes for normal quality items now work on arrows (arrows use the shield recipe). Socket recipes now work on superior items. When using the socket recipe for normal quality items on helmets, shields or chests they will now roll between 1-3 (helmets) or 1-4 (shields/chests) instead of rolling 1-6 and defaulting to the max possible socket amount when rolling above it. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue causing +% elemental damage stats from not increasing flat added elemental damage on ranged attacks. Fix the crash from hovering skills while an "X skill while equipped" aura item is equipped. Shadow Master is now correctly gaining strength. Fixed Blade Fury animation cancelling. Fixed an issue with Artic Blast and Inferno channeling. Fixed Uber health overflowing in higher player counts. Fixed an issue with unique/set item generation through cube recipes using the name of the item (single player mod fix). Fixed a client crash for players using controller when pressing LB/L1 after joining a new game. Fixed an issue with the aim assist setting not saving properly on controller. Fixed some controller joysticks not fully matching the direction pushed. Fixed item text flickering with long descriptions and item help text turned on. Fixed an issue with Right-Click Equip sometimes getting "stuck" on cursor when equipping to an empty slot with an item that the player does not meet requirements for. Added an option to turn Right Click Equip on or off. Go to Esc -> Options -> PD2 Options -> Controls. Fixed controller D-Pad item movement not working in stash/NPC trade until the cursor is moved. Fixed a crash related to the new unique Void map. Fixed an issue with resistance modifiers being calculated twice for melee splash damage. Fixed an issue where maps would sometimes turn into a broken Ruined Citadel map after a cube recipe. Fixed player characters sometimes displaying the incorrect items or missing their heads in the lobby screens. Fixed Poison/Open Wounds damaging Uber bosses while they are immune. Fixed some map bosses having the incorrect level. Loot Filter Added new Path of Exile drop sounds. Added a new function to play drop notification sounds. These sounds will always play through the "Item Drops" sound channel. Added the ".playsound [sound-id]" chat command (to help loot filter creators). Added %BASENAME% keyword (thanks segnis). Details and examples. Added REROLLALVL & %REROLLALVL% keywords (thanks segnis). Details and examples. Added TRUE or FALSE keywords (thanks segnis). Details and examples. Added MISC which will flag all items in misc.txt. Note: misc.txt now has the normcode/ubercode/ultracode columns like weapons.txt and armor.txt. This means NORM will not also filter items in misc.txt so make sure your filters are updated to handle this. Added JEWELRY, CHARM and QUIVER conditions. Added BUYPRICE and %BUYPRICE%. Added SELLPRICE and %SELLPRICE% (alias of PRICE). Added more location-based conditions: MERC. INVENTORY. CUBE. STASH. GROUND. PVP The following skills have had their In-Arena PVP modifiers changed: Armageddon: Fire damage 100% -> 30% LLD, 100% ->> 35% HLD Double Swing: 200% -> 100% Frenzy: 200% -> 100% Combustion: 50% -> 35% Power Strike: Lightning 17% -> 100%, Physical 100% -> 17% Strafe: 65% -> 40% Magic Arrow: 100% -> 60% Shock Wave: 175% -> 120% Wake of Inferno: 100% -> 70% Dragon Talon: 100% -> 80% Death Sentry: 100% -> 80% Holy Bolt: 65% -> 40% Holy Light: 15% -> 5% Maul: 150% -> 100% Bone Spear: 40% -> 35% Teeth: 30% -> 20% Double Throw: 115% -> 100% Berserk: 115% -> 100% Charged Bolt: 170% -> 130% Frost Nova: 185% -> 150% Lightning: 180% -> 140% Jab: 80% -> 50% Double Throw: Bounce removed in arena.

Lucion: All Lucion attacks ignore 2/3rd of your current block rate (includes weapon block/parry). Lucion's minions are still blocked at full block rate. Fixed a safe spot in the Lucion arena. Diablo Clone: Fixed invisible fire. Ground fire is always synced between server/client but the bone spirits might occasionally desync. The fire will not be invisible and it will be where it is on your screen. Fixed Diablo Clone entering the nova phase while the skeletons are still alive. Reduced the threat provided by the tormented souls in the Diablo Clone fight (this will cause summons/minions to attack them less often).
